You are using the built-in PHP webserver. .htaccess (and by extension mod_rewrite) is an Apache config file and is not supported by the PHP webserver.
To implement a front-controller/router using the PHP built-in webserver you need to use PHP, as described in the PHP docs:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
Aside: The mod_rewrite rule is also incorrect and won't work as written:
RewriteRule index.php [L]
You are missing the first argument to the RewriteRule directive, so it will never match the request you are making. It should be something like this:
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Where . (a single dot) is a regular expression (pattern) that matches at least 1 character (ie. everything except the document root, which is handled by the DirectoryIndex).

You must be using Apache, with a different .htaccess file!
